@bkuhn Confusion at some point and we learn to distinguish, but better to start w/o confusion at all. Or be visited by sins of your fathers
about a year ago from web-
@bkuhn That's what emulator always says, 'but we're helping!' Emulated may not agree and TM law gives it veto power, rightfully so
-
@bkuhn BTW, who are you calling a maximalist? Not me. I claim realist
-
@bkuhn I'll add that to my intranet page on how to think up names...
-
@bkuhn Many of my namers are JBoss guys too
-
@bkuhn I've been told woot has refurb T60s today, in case you roll that way
-
@bkuhn hwo do you come to the "mearly all"? IMHO you are exaggerating on purpuse in both directions ...
-
@fontana, good guess. It was at a #TheEstablishment event where I met the #JBoss developers. Marc was among them, IIRC.
-
@bkuhn that shows a poor understanding of history. Everyone forgets history and reinvent it to meet their present needs. Even RMS :)
-
@bkuhn "Sins of fathers" is if senior TM does bad thing or goes in unwanted direction it reflects on child. Best to start w/own identity
-
@pchestek, I don't see how that applies to the lynx/links situation, though. The projects were aware of each other and mutually supportive.
-
@pchestek,also,in a lot of the name situations we were discussing,community is keenly aware of the difference; it's not general marketplace.
-
@bkuhn Why tie your reputation to something you may someday diverge from?
-
@pchestek, I suspect you might fundamentally misunderstand how the community evolution of noncommercial software projects operates.
-
@pchestek,I'm confused why you keep saying "you" & "your" referring to these situations. I'm not a Lynx,Links, nor Conkeror developer myself
-
@bkuhn Think of the future, people and audiences change. Hard to change name tho. And law is blunt instr. If conflict, child will lose
-
@pchestek, your statement is probably correct for commercial companies focused on brands. That's not the software freedom community, though.
-
@bkuhn you and your rhetorical, not you you
-
@pchestek, problem is you're moving between the 2 usages too easily. It doesn't translate well into an 140 character medium. It's confusing.
-
@bkuhn Perhaps so; indeed no one sues for noncommercial. But how do you (you you) not see analogy to attribution discussion?
-
@pchestek, names of projects are radically different to individual human beings' names. Any analogy is a false one, IMO.
